Dublin Zoo offering half price tickets to thank public as new sculpture ... (Irish Mirror)

Visitors will have the chance to enjoy a range of themed educational and fun activities, including zookeeper talks for all ages, from 12-4pm.

"During that time, it was difficult to say whether Dublin Zoo would make it through to experience the incredible milestones of the past two years, including the births of some endangered species. The red panda’s Himalayan Hills habitat was delayed by the challenging events of 2020. It is only with thanks to the people of Ireland as well as our Government that we have been able to celebrate the opening of the Himalayan Hills habitat, which is now home to the snow leopard and red pandas at Dublin Zoo. Dr Christoph Schwitzer, Director of Dublin Zoo, said: “The team at Dublin Zoo is thrilled to reveal the new red panda sculpture and publicly mark our gratitude to all those who supported us through the challenging period which resulted in the ‘Save Dublin Zoo’ fundraising campaign. This weekend, Dublin Zoo is inviting members of the public to visit the Zoo to enjoy a family-friendly event and to see the new red panda sculpture at the Himalayan Hills habitat. Created by award-winning sculptor Stephanie Hess, the red panda sculpture was unveiled as a thank you from Dublin Zoo to the people of Ireland and beyond, who responded by providing generous support to the ‘Save Dublin Zoo’ campaign.

“The physical and psychological wellbeing of the animals in our care is paramount to Dublin Zoo. This is what I believe the public also expects from Dublin Zoo, so I will continue to utilise all the parliamentary avenues open to me to pursue this issue to a satisfactory conclusion,” she said. In every such situation, the best of veterinary care and attention is given. A total of 59 animals died at Tayto Park in Co Meath during 2020 and 2021. Out of 21 endangered Waldrapp ibis birds born at Dublin Zoo during the two-year period, 11 died within 20 days. However, as in the wild, animals also die.
